The thing about grizzlies, it turns out they are not so good at going back to sleep after their hibernation has been interrupted. Just look at the Palin supporters. One would predict that a couple of weeks after Sarah Palin said she would not seek the GOP nomination should be enough time for them to lick their wounds and cast about for another bandwagon to climb onto. But instead of behaving so predictably, the grizzlies are going rogue and regrrrrouping.

In her Oct. 5th announcement, Governor Palin urged supporters to continue to fight to restore America’s “greatness, goodness, and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.”

That is why on Oct. 29th we will gather the Palin “tribes” for Grizzly Fest, a historic online summit to move ahead with a positive agenda of reform. We’re not going away!

We will hear from heroes of the Palin grassroots movement including Stephen K. Bannon, Tammy Bruce, Jedediah Bila, Peter Singleton, Jackie Siciliano, and other representatives from C4P, O4P, and Texans4Palin.

Cool! I’ll be listening and reading about it. GrizzlyFest, I like that. I also enjoyed hearing Palin’s positive words the other day. That’s what’s really missing in America right now, some positivity. All you ever hear is how we’re all going to hell in a hand basket.

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

“Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” was at times very specific, calling, for example, for taxation measures on financial transactions. “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.

It condemned what it called “the idolatry of the market” as well as a “neo-liberal thinking” that it said looked exclusively at technical solutions to economic problems. “In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviours like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale,” it said, adding that world economics needed an “ethic of solidarity” among rich and poor nations.

“If no solutions are found to the various forms of injustice, the negative effects that will follow on the social, political and economic level will be destined to create a climate of growing hostility and even violence, and ultimately undermine the very foundations of democratic institutions, even the ones considered most solid,” it said.

It called for the establishment of “a supranational authority” with worldwide scope and “universal jurisdiction” to guide economic policies and decisions.

Asked at a news conference if the document could become a manifesto for the movement of the “indignant ones”, who have criticised global economic policies, Cardinal Peter Turkson, head of the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department, said: “The people on Wall Street need to sit down and go through a process of discernment and see whether their role managing the finances of the world is actually serving the interests of humanity and the common good. “We are calling for all these bodies and organisations to sit down and do a little bit of re-thinking.”

Since it looks like Palin will remain an important political figure, perhaps getting even more important; and her following will become or remain influential; I wonder what they think about a certain area of things and stuff . . . specifically “global warming”.

I know what the MSM will claim that Palin and her supporters think about the subject of “global warming”. But if any of the readers here
have a truer idea than the MSM has of what Palin and her supporters
ACTually think about “global warming”, would this be an appropriate place to ask those readers to coomment about that?
